Wed. & at. pounds to his two grandsons-Peter Perrin, who was nearly eighteen months, and Robert John Warner, who was six months. Then, with the tender- ness of a lover speaking of the planned honeymoon, he spoke of a fishing boat It wasn't any use getting it now. To get one of the houses built by the rural-dis- trict Council, he had had to become a farm laborer, but when he was fifty, they would trouble him no more; at that age, this controlled-labor business had to let you go. Then he would go back to fishIng. He had been out with the boats since he was eight It would be two and a half years till he was fifty, but that wasn't too long to think about buy- ing a boat. Y ou had to turn it over well in your mind. As for the rest of the money, he would keep it to help any- body in the family who was in trouble and to look after himself when he got old.

There were traces of blood on the linoleum in the lobby, and there was human blood on the :floor boards of the dining room and on the lath-and-plaster ceiling of the :flat below, and tnere were traces of blood, though It was not proved to be human, on the staIrs leading to the upper :floor of the Humes' duplex apartment. This evi- dence produced a perfect picture of Mr. Setty's being stabbed in the chest with a dagger five times as he sat or stood in the H ume living room, staggering out of the room into the lobby, where he went through a door that he might have thought led to the stairs and safety but in fact led into the dining room, where he slumped and died, face downward, on the floor. These bloodstains showed that a considerable amount had been DECEMDEI\ I , I 9 50 II A S m ash i ng H e ,t l" -Coler.non, e lItrror RICHARD RODGERS & OSCAR HAMMERSTEIN 2nd presenr ]he Happy Jlme A New Comedy by SAMUEL fAYLOR Based on the Book by Robert Fontaine Directed by ROBERT LEWIS PLYMOUTH THEA., W. 45 St. Mats.
